# NROGUE

*ncurses roguelike challenge*

![](resources/github-front/title.png)

I decided to challenge myself by making a game with minimal requirements possible.

Just like in old times, when all you had was just one binary file.

Since I'm working with Linux, I thought that making a game that uses just terminal libraries (e.g. ncurses)

seems like a perfect candidate. And what games are known to use terminal graphics? That's right, roguelikes.

So I decided to make a roguelike.

It probably should've been named **ncrogue** or something, but whatever...

You can build either version, SDL2 or ncurses, check comments in main.cpp.

Game has config file where certain parameters can be tweaked (check `config-template.txt`).
